1949 Map of Lexington East

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Missouri River and the Missouri Pacific railroad define the industrial and agricultural landscape of this Missouri riverfront during the mid-20th century. At the center of the settlement, Lexington serves as a hub of education and community, anchored by the Wentworth Military Academy and the Wentworth Country Club. The map reveals a high density of rural institutions, including the Hicklin Sch, Locust Grove Sch, and Slusher Sch, reflecting a well-distributed population in the uplands south of the river. Evidence of local industry appears in the form of several Mine Dumps scattered near the Lick Fork drainage, while the bottomlands to the north are dominated by the winding course of the Crooked River. The geography transitions from these flat alluvial plains to dissected bluffs where family history is preserved at Forest Grove Cem and Slusher Cem.
